You're not all that. YET!

If you want to be treated like a grown up then you have to act like one.   How many times have you heard that zinger?   And what does it even MEAN?

First of all, I’m a kid, okay?   And ya know what, when I look at grown-ups sometimes I don’t even get what’s so great about it anyway!   To me it just seems like all they do is work all day, come home and watch yicky stuff on the boring news, go to sleep and do the same exact thing the next day.  Can you say snooze-fest?   And then you have these kids who are trying so hard to act all grown up and what not, like they’ve got it all down, and really, it’s like FOR WHAT??

Okay, maybe I’m being a bit hard on grown-ups.  They are not all that bad.   It just seems like they’ve forgotten what it means to be a kid sometimes.  And this makes me really sad.   When I’m a grown-up I still want to have my same curiosity about the world.   I still want to know more about things and not just think that because I’m older that I know everything.   Or even worse, that my life is over!  I still want to keep that thing about me that makes me special, that I love most.   I still want to be cool!

Does growing up mean that I have to lose all of that?  I hope not! YUCK!

Sorry grown ups, you’re just not all that….YET!

  

Hey World!!

I’m Yndico and I’m so psyched about my new blog!  YAY!  I love to write and figured this would be a cool place to let my thoughts run wild.  Keeping things inside is just not me.  Life for a kid my age can be pretty confusing at times.  When I can’t understand things sometimes when I write them down, they start to make sense.  Oh, and I also write poetry, draw and sing.  Ever since I was a little girl my father has always encouraged me to be really expressive. That is until lately. Whatever.  I just do what feels right for me.  Oh, so where’s my mom?  Mucho more on that later.  We’re just getting to know each other! I can’t tell you everything all at once.  But I will say that my home life is a bit complicated.  But then again, whose isn’t, right?!

I guess I’m in that nowhere land age grownups like to call ‘tweens.’  Ugh.  I find the word totally ridic, just plain old annoying and so 2005.  I prefer to think of myself as too young to drive but old enough to know what I like and don’t like.  And what I don’t like is how so many girls my age are Followers.  It’s like, whatever they see on tv or in the junkiest of stores they go just for without really asking themselves if they even like it.  They just think they do.  It drives me nuts.   Like how they dress what movie stars and bands to have crushes on.  It’s like it’s all written in the stone and they don’t even have minds of their own or anything.  Boring! 

My thing is, and this is where “Define Your Own Way,” comes from.  My thing is to be a Leader, to make a statement, to be whomever and whatever I want to be!

One thing I do know about girls my age, and I’m not trying to be a know-it-all or anything so I hope I don’t sound like one, is that we really are all kinda alike.  On the inside.  Sure, outside everyone is trying to look a like, which bugs the blank out of me.  But inside, I know that a lot of girls feels the same way I do about a lot of things.

Anyway, I hope I’m making sense.  I know I’m not right about everything, but at least I’m expressing myself and I’m pretty positive that’s one of the most important things to do in life!

Wow. Thanks.  I feel great now! And hey, feel free to write. I’m totally into writing you back.

Til next time, peace… Define your own way!
